That alone is the kiss of death as far as I am concerned. They can
keep their bullshit program if it's going to do crap like that.

What if the Internet is down when I want to use it? I have had the
Internet go down for days at a time - although not in recent times.
But it can and does go down for several hours at a time. I'll be
frelled if I am going to sit around and wait to run an application I
bought just because the developers are anal.
